About Craig

Craig has always had a very keen interest in property and it is with much excitement and enthusiasm that he begins his new appointment as a member of the lifestyle and rural sales team at Barfoot & Thompson, Pukekohe. Craig's extensive business background first in finance as a chartered accountant, and later in corporate New Zealand for 20 years, included Managing Director of several large marketing and sales oriented companies, provides a sound backdrop for a successful career in real estate. Among Craig's many achievements, was the development and start up of his own successful sales and distribution business which after ten years sold as a going concern, and was followed by several independent directorships of private companies. These were both interesting and rewarding, however, they kept Craig in the board room rather than out on the land. Craig and his wife developed a 50 acre lifestyle property in Ramarama from scratch; gaining first-hand experience with local councils, consent processes, building and practical knowledge for caring of land and livestock. Together with Barfoot & Thompson's professional lifestyle/ rural team, Craig can now harness his knowledge, enthusiasm and experience ensuring the best possible outcomes for all of his clients.

A stressful time made easier

Neil, along with his senior partner Craig Ashby were our agents for the selling of our property. Both were gentlemanly, knowledgeable, and very reassuring, both to us, as vendors, and to potential buyers, in a difficult market. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them and they would come round at the drop of a hat to sort out any questions or issues we may have had, always arriving with a smile. A pleasure to have had them at our sides. Thank you both very much. Review submitted by Keith and Linda (Vendor) on 10 Jan 2023

Excellent performance getting bidders to the auction...

Craig and Neil were honest, gave a realistic market valuation given the conditions in real-estate at the time. They kept us informed of how the marketing and open homes were received and how many likely bidders they would likely have at the auction. Fantastic result at auction. Achieved the reserve price and a little more. Very happy and wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use their services again. Verified by RateMyAgent

This was one of the most wonderful experiences selling a home we have had.

We decided to list our property at very short notice, and we did not hesitate to enlist the expertise of Craig Ashby from Barfoot & Thompson Pukekohe. We had used Craig to sell our last home. Craig has a vast amount of knowledge about the land and properties around our area, a real bonus when selling. He also knows many of our neighbours and this is beneficial when talking to potential buyers. Right from the onset, Craig was professional, friendly, and helpful. He guided us, gave great advice, and let us make decisions based on the information he gave us. He was always supportive of our decisions. Our campaign ran very successfully, we had loads of interest and Craig was very busy with potential buyers. Craig kept us in the loop at every turn and communication was key to us feeling in control with how the campaign was progressing. We went to the Auction confident that we were going to sell. This was one of the most wonderful experiences selling a home we have had. Craig took care of everything and kept us in the loop every step of the way. We highly recommend Craig to sell your property. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and so easy to work with. Thank you, Craig, Neil and I are over the moon to be moving on to our next adventure.
